So the Council has not yet met and suspended the ordinance on signs. There are people who said that signs were up and they heard people were complaining. This was last night.
I could not reach anyone at the City of Fortuna until today. When I talked to Fortuna City Manager Regan Candelario, he said there have been no complaints. They would look into the matter, if there had been complaints. No comment on whether signs were up or not.
Again, when Maggie has 2 supporters on Fortuna City Council, I think there is a conflict of interest. I have disclosed many times that I am an Elan supporter. This is unfair to the other 3 candidates.
I never get any comment from Maggie's campaign. That is their choice.
Were there signs or not? And whoever did complain needs to come forward because at this point it is just he said, she said. And if signs were up, they could have been removed.
So facebook likes without any definite trace are a big deal, but this is a non-issue? Why don't we see any other media doing a story on 2 Fortuna City Council members voting on an issue that affects a candidate they support?
John: For the record, I have the endorsement of current Councilman and Former Mayor Dean Glaser of Fortuna. We discussed this issue on Tuesday night. I never asked him to change the rule. I thought it would have been inappropriate. Contact Dean Glaser and he'll confirm that. I think you appropriately point out that this is a conflict of interest to be pushed by supporters of one particular candidate.
